The Pirate Bay stops development of BOiNK

Last month, the ever controversial folks at the Pirate Bay announced that they were going to develop an OiNK replacement. Dubbed, “BOiNK” the new public tracker was supposed to bring back the hundreds of thousands of music albums that were taken down during a police raid. Those plans, however, have been dropped.

According to Pirate Bay admin Brokep, there are so many people opening up new music trackers right now that working on BOiNK would be redundant. He even listed some of these alternatives on his blog a few weeks ago. He also acknowledges that former OiNK members want share-ratio enforcement to ensure a large selection of quality content and decent download speeds.

Nevertheless, Brokep says that The Pirate Bay does plan to roll out a new music section soon that will feature “a lot of cool new stuff not yet seen on any torrent site.”
